I love and admire that cow
I have for a long time
I've kept it to myself.
As such as me must.
I'd never forgive myself,
if the cow was cruelly hurt
to get at me vicariously

Hee hee... Thank you, Eric!

I love doing nudes. I've always been drawn to them whether drawing them myself or appreciating others work. I have never drawn obese nudes before. It's the first one I've done and though it may be a bit crude and not very detailed yet I do like it.

My placement was off, so no feet. lol

Practice, practice, practice....

Appealing or appalling?

Thanks, I'm still working on it. Seems her head is a little small. Oh well, that's what erasers are for. lol

Okay, I made her head a little bigger and gave her more neck plus I changed the view and definition of her face. I think I'm done with her. It was an experiment not meant to be a finished project for hanging. I am satisfied with her.

I do want to say that I know obese people make the majority of people uncomfortable. That is one of the reasons I have chosen to do this and have an interest in doing more. I have seen some of the loveliest pieces of art I have ever seen with an obese subject and as an obese person I find this a very enlightened idea and goal. I want people to see people as beautiful, interesting, worthy humans no mater what their outward appearance. I also am drawn to the aged face as well and will be doing some of those in the future.

It's okay if you don't like or fear commenting on controversial images (or if my skill level is inadequate because I'm just beginning again and I know they are rough) but as secular freethinking reasoned individuals I do challenge you to think outside the box as to what you can perceive as beautiful or lovely. Not necessarily my work but any work or person for that matter.

I find simple point of view challenges very stimulating whether I change my POV or not.

That is a quite accurate drawing of my wife .

The sort of body shape that has been 'desirable' for women has changed so much throughout history.  I quite like this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrp0zJZu0a4

I do think women (and men) of all shapes and sizes can look beautiful but I also think it's natural that people have a preference that they are attracted to.

I've seen that vid, nice.

I absolutely agree that whatever turns you on turns you on but we as a culture have become so critical of pounds vs. beauty that I just wanted to challenge people to consider your concepts and see if you'd like to challenge your ideals of what you think beauty is. I enjoy that kind of thing and pick things, sometimes quite randomly, but often when I have realized I have a preconceived notion and want to push the envelope on my assumptions.

Cool.... maybe.

Thinking about men.... I personally don't find overly groomed skinny men attractive.

This guy, whoever he is is probably considered beautiful by many and is obviously a desirable type as he looks like he's modelling but he just does nothing for me.  I do agree that beauty is more than just the outward appearance and if this guy happened to be a funny, sensitive, kind-hearted leftie then he may grow on me

Oh yes, I agree and even guys that are nice to look at often don't really do it for me because I'm so in tune with the attractiveness of personality that without some inkling of personality, charm, wit and humor I just can't be interested.

I do know that outwardly I'm not immediately attracted to small men (that may have something to do with my own size insecurity) or the well-groomed or more effeminate types but if, as you say, he's witty, funny, smart and kind (and I will add) with a huge sexual appetite I could rock that like a bad girl. lol

Looks like he's having some trouble figuring out that picture book. Also, either shave or miracle grow that chest!
